Aim To study the combined effect Euphor-bia kansui of and Glycyrrhiza uralensis on metabolism of Kansuinine A and Kansuinine B. Methods Control, GU and GU plus EK groups were treated for 10 days, respectively. Then the liver microsomes were pre-pared. KA and KB were incubated with microsomes of each group, and concentrations of KA and KB were measured to reflect the metablism of KA and KB. E-rythromycin, diphenhydramine hydrochloride,benzbro-marone, cimetidine, fluconazole the inhibitors of CYP3 A4 , CYP2 D6 , CYP2 C9 , CYP1 A2 , CYP2 C19 respectively, were incubated with KA and KB. Con-centrations of KA and KB were measured to reveal the cytochrome P450 isoforms which involved in the metab-olism of them. KA and KB were incubated with glycyr-rhizic acid and enoxolone. Then concentrations of KA and KB were measured to reveal the effects of glycyr-rhizic acid and enoxolone to KA and KB. Results Concentrations of KA and KB in GU plus EK group were significantly higher than those in control and EK groups, which showed that the metablisom of KA and KB was inhibited in GU plus EK group. In addition, concentrations of KA and KB were higher in microsomes incubated with erythromycin, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, benzbromarone, cimetidine and fluconazole than in control group, which revealed that the metablism of KA and KB was slowed down when CYP3A4, CYP2D6, CYP2C9, CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 were inhibited. They may participate in the metablisom of KA and KB. After incubation with glycyrrhizic acid and enoxolone, the metablism of KA and KB was slowed down. Conclusions KA and KB may be the substrates of CYP2C19. GU plus EK can inhibit the activity of CYP2C19, which resulted in KA and KB metablism slowing down and accumulation. In addition, glycyrrhizic acid and enoxolone can inhibit the metablism of KA and KB. It may be one of the reasons of increased toxicity of GU plus EK.

Objective To discuss the relationship between various T lymphocyte subsets apoptosis and disease progression in chronic antiretroviral-naive HIV/AIDS patients. Methods Thirty-six chronic antiretrovi-ral-naive HIV-infected individuals as well as 16 healthy HIV-negative controls were performed in this study. Ac-cording to the CD4~+ T cell counts, all the patients were divided three groups: < 200/μl, 200-350/μl and > 350/μl. After the peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) were isolated, T lymphocyte subpopulations were determined by the expression of CD45RO and CD27, and the apoptosis of different T cell subsets were measured by Annexin V staining, then analyzed by flow cytometry. To investigate whether the apoptosis of T cells varied with the culture time in vitro, 4 healthy controls and 4 patients were chosen as subjects, and the lev-els of cell apoptosis were analyzed at the culture time points of 0, 3, 6, 12, 24 h. Results (1)The percenta-ges of the AnnexinV expression on CD4~+ and CD8~+ T cells and all the subsets in HIV/AIDS patients were sig-nificantly higher than that in the healthy controls (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences among the three HIV-infected patient groups(P>0.05). (2) No significant correlations were observed between the levels of apoptosis of all the T cells and subsets and total CD4~+ T cell counts(P>0.05) ,nor with the HIV viral load (P>0.05). (3)As the culture time prolonged in vitro, the levels of apoptosis and necrosis of CD4~6 T cells in HIV/AIDS patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy conlrols, and the CD4~+ T cells were more susceptible to apoptosis and necrosis compared with CD8~+ T cells. Conclusion The levels of T cell apoptosis in HIV/AIDS patients was significantly higher than those in the healthy controls, at the same time, CD4~+ T cells were more susceptible to apoptosis and necrosis compared with CD8~+ T cells, but no correlation was found between the T cell apoptsis and disease progression.

Objective: To investigate the application of single-molecule PCR (SM-PCR) in the detection of plasma ctDNA for the treat-ment of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: In total, 30 patients diagnosed with advanced lung adenocarcinoma were enrolled between June 2017 and May 2018. ctDNA fragments of the target genes (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, ALK, HER2, and TP53) from the blood samples were enriched by SM-PCR, and DNA libraries were prepared. Finally, a high-throughput sequencing was performed. The EGFR detection of tumor tissue samples was performed using real-time fluorescence PCR based on the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) and consistency in the results of EGFR mutation detection in the plasma and tissue was compared. Results:The results of both the methods were consistent (Kappa=0.867, P<0.001). The McNemar's test also indicated that the results are not statistically different (P=0.500). Conclusions: SM-PCR can be used for the detection of plasma EGFR mutations. The target detection sites are more comprehensive and multiple mutations can be detected at the same time. Results of the analysis are more precise and can be absolutely quantified.

Malignant tumors, with the increasing crude morbidity and mortality year by year, have become the major diseases threatening human health. The conventional therapeutic drugs against tumors have serious adverse reactions, which can cause a heavy burden on patients. The active components of Chinese medicine can effectively inhibit tumor growth, improve the quality of life of patients, and have few toxic and side effects. Alkaloids of Chinese medicine are natural organic compounds widely existing in a variety of Chinese herbal medicines. In recent years, they have attracted more and more attention because of their anti-tumor effect. The anti-tumor mechanisms of alkaloids of Chinese medicine mainly include the induction of apoptosis, inhibition of tumor cell migration and invasion, suppression of proliferation, induction of autophagy of tumor cells, cell cycle arrest, inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, regulation of microRNA, and modulation of immunity. In addition, Chinese medicine alkaloids can also reverse tumor drug resistance and reduce the stemness of tumor stem cells. Alkaloids of Chinese medicine can regulate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), Notch, Hedgehog, Wnt/β-catenin, and other signaling pathways to participate in the processes of tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis, autophagy and apoptosis, and affect the occurrence and development of tumors in multiple links and ways. The derivatives and nano-preparations of alkaloids can improve the solubility, utilization, and anti-tumor activity of alkaloids, bringing a broader prospect for the clinical application of alkaloids. This review summarized the recent anti-tumor research on alkaloids, their representative derivatives, and nano-preparations to provide references for the in-depth research on the anti-tumor effect of alkaloids.
